Nice deduction guys, but... wow, that's so... meta.

I just hope that's not the point of the deduction.

Yes that's probably it. You get over-sensitive once you know an answer and don't want anything to spoil the same fun of finding out to others
Btw. concerning their seiyuu:

Spoiler:

So are we all on the same page that we assume that they tricked us into believing they are two different women when they are actually one and the same?

Spoiler for Seiyuu:

I've been comparing the two voices and I definitely hear a similarity, so yes, I'm convinced both characters are voiced by Sakakibara Naoko and that Miyamaki Misayo is her alias. In a sense, Misayo is the extra person of the cast.

I'll make sure to pay attention to the credits next week. They'll probably reveal it then.

I also wonder why I did not notice this suspicious "Miyamaki Misayo". I guess that when we checked the list at the beginning, there wasn't a meaning in Yomiyama Misaki yet, so we just let it slide.

By the way, something else I noticed in episode 11:

Spoiler for episode 11:

Remember Mikami's blank glare at the beginning? This one:

I was sure I already saw it somewhere and probably in this series, just that I couldn't place it correctly. But a few posts above, when haguruma said to check episode 3 from minute 16:00 onwards, I did... and I incidentally found what was secretly stored in my memory:

Now this was the piece I was missing, what I thought I had seen but couldn't place. Aside from camera angle and position, it's the same exact blank expression of someone who's completely lost in his mind... if not more.

Spoiler:

Why do you think Sakakibara Naoko is an actual person and not an alias? She, too, has never had a voice acting role before -- that, coupled with the fact that her surname is Sakakibara, suggests that she too is an alias, and that the actual seiyuu is someone else entirely.

Spoiler:

That's not entirely accurate, she has had a few very minor anime roles; but more importantly, she's done tons of dubbing work (American TV series/movies, Korean dramas, etc...). She's actually a pretty prolific voice actress outside of anime. Furthermore, she's had a wikipedia page since 2010, and if you google her name, you'll find pics of her with other actresses/voice actresses on their blog. I'd say all of this is sufficient evidence that Sakakibara Naoko does exist. UNLESS... the internet has been altered by the phenomenon

Yomiyamaki's CV, on the other hand, only has six obscure foreign horror movies in it, and the roles she's played in them is not specified. Obvious fake CV is obvious.

I find amazing we're speculating about the existence of real people now
The anime team's handled Reiko's dual identity brilliantly. I have to give props to them.

Spoiler for :

Yes doing the same with the Voice actress they did with reiko was a brilliant move to fool the viewer's in the way it was intended.

Sidenote: I'm seemingly too dumb for my current keyboard, so if you see the same character twice in a row, when it doesn't belong there just ignore it.

The authors of this anime love to misdirect viewers so I wouldn't be surprised that Mikami and Reiko having different seiyuus is one of them.

We'll know for sure next ep

.

Your text needs a spoiler tag...
But yeah there iss no other way than agreeing after EP 8. Too bad i already knew it back then So I can't say if I would have found out by then. (its always easier to analyze something later...)
Well - Happily we will get an Another 2...

It was just the authors misdirecting viewers to make some people skeptical in regards to the different seiyuus. That, and they kept cutting off Reiko whenever she tried to explain the 'fourth rule' to Sakakibara.

They also left out the grandfather saying he hates funerals. They also cut out the part where he says "poor reiko".

I wasn't one of those people that read the wikis or accidentally reading spoilers on MAL. It was just pure observation.

I even explained it on the first page of this thread. As far as I see, you were the only one that was so sure I was wrong, claiming it was 'circumstantial' evidence.

The evidence was there. You were just cleverly misdirected by the authors by leaving things out ( That were in the manga which I checked as I watched the eps to see differences. And before you say the manga spoils things, the manga chapters were always behind the anime. It wasn't until ep 11 when sites started releasing more of them and eventually went ahead ) on purpose.

Thing is, the way the authors misdirected viewers feels like such an asspull with how they revealed the extra scenes in the end. It just felt forced. A truly clever mystery doesn't need to leave things out only to be revealed later as a revelation.

Spoiler for :

This debate was started in a thread (not on this site) which in itself revealed the spoiler that Reiko and Mikami-sensei were the same person and presented that spoiler as knowledge, not theory. This spoiler either consciously or subconsciously altered your theory (I'm guessing subconsciously -- you probably used that knowledge to go back and start putting the clues that were already in the back of your mind together); in either case, the theory was not entirely your own.

My own position was an unfortunate one. I tried making an argument as though I had never read that spoiler (which was very obviously a spoiler to me and anyone else who had critically watched the episodes aired to that point). I only wish that you, I, AC-Phoenix, and anyone else who was spoiled could've been given the chance to deduce it ourselves.

There will be Another(2) chance - Pun intended.

But yes, I definitely remember someone having been too right regarding some things, at least considering that said posts were not exactly written recently.
Once you know who the Another is you can actually get everything else pretty fast. (or at least go into the right direction).
